As high level synthesis matures in a viable alternative for design of industrial ASIC and rapid scanning of the design solution space, the importance of development of firm and sound theoretical foundations is well recognized. Simultaneously a need for rapid and accurate prediction methodology and tools is becoming widely acknowledged. We attack those two problem by developing AT (area-time) hi...

We propose a derivation of statistical laws from time series data analysis on the analogy of the thermodynamics. Recently, Sekimoto and Sasa reconstructed thermodynamics of systems, which are governed by the Langevin equations. We construct \thermodynamics" by applying their approach to the Auto Regressive type models, in which the random uctuation is no more thermal one. Since the detailed bal...

In this paper, I focus on a domain in which the conflict between freedom and equality is at stake: the world of work. Current U.S. laws impose many negative liberty restraints on employers with respect to employees. They may not discriminate by race, gender, religion, or age. They must pay minimum wages to most employees, and pay overtime to those working more than 40 hours per week. They must ...

We analyze the motion of individual beads of a polymer chain using a discrete version of De Gennes' reptation model that describes the motion of a polymer through an ordered lattice of obstacles. The motion within the tube can be evaluated rigorously; tube renewal is taken into account in an approximation motivated by random walk theory. We find microstructure effects to be present for remarkab...

Understanding the environmental controls on historical wildfires, and how they changed across spatial scales, is difficult because there are no surviving explicit records of either weather or vegetation (fuels). Here we show how power laws associated with fire-event time series arise in limited domains of parameters that represent critical transitions in the controls on landscape fire. Comparis...

Today’s power systems become more prone to cyberattacks due to the high integration of information technologies. In this paper, we demonstrate that the outages of some lines can be masked by injecting false data into a set of measurements. The success of the topology attack can be guaranteed by making that: 1)the injected false data obeys KCL and KVL to avoid being detected by the bad data dete...

In regression analysis for deriving scaling laws in the context of fusion studies, usually standard regression methods have been applied, of which ordinary least squares (OLS) is the most popular. However, concerns have been raised with respect to several assumptions underlying OLS in its application to fusion data. More sophisticated statistical techniques are available, but they are not widel...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

Edwards et al. 1 revisited well-known studies reporting power-laws in the frequency distribution of flight duration of wandering albatrosses 2,3 , and concluded that no Lévy process 4,5 could model recent observations with higher resolution. Here we show that this re-analysis 1 suffers from a conceptual misunderstanding, and that the new albatross data remain consistent with a biological Lévy f...
